NOTES A1'D COMMENTS " The general elections in Ontario will be held in January. The bye - elections will not be held," is the lat- est report from a first-class authority. W. Huron Conservative convention was held Monday at Auburn. Dudley laolmes, of Wingham, carried the convention as their standard bearer in the next Provincial elections. * * Those papers that made such a hub - hub about 4009 people being at a con- vention, lose sight of the fact that a radical temperance resolution had to he averted and the Prohibitionists had to be outnumbered. Japan has made known the condi- tions on which she is ready to close hostilities. These consist in the re- turn of Manchuria t® China, the dis- snantling of Port Arthur and the es- tablishment of Korean independence, with the right of the Japanese to ac- quire land. * * The result of the Quebec Provincial election is as was expected. The Pro- vince is overwhelmingly Liberal, al- though the Legislature will split with Parent and Anti -Parent Parties. The iresult gives: Government- supporters 62, Independent Liberals 4, Conserva- tives 6. There are two elections still to be held. There were only nine straight party fights, in four of which 7onservatives were elected. Of the Pother 65 members, over one half were elected by acclamation. * * The federal election returns for On- tario have nearly all been received. .About four hundred thousand votes were polled. The Conservatives got '200,199, Liberals 197,059 and Independ- ents 2,653. Mr. Valentine Ratz, of North Middlesex got 1,894 of the In- dependent votes. Three or four con- stituencies are yet to he heard from, which will increase the Conservative popular majority. There are now ten vacant setts in the Legislature, eight of which were held by Liberals and two by Conserva- tives. They are North Perth, North York and North Norfolk, teed the Sault Ste. Marie, members unseated by the courts; Porb Arthur and Rainy River, member resigned, These were held by Lrberels, On the Conserva- tive side are Dutferin and North Ren- frew, Members resigned. This leaves 88 seats. of which 45 are' Opposition. and 43 Ministerial, leaving the Govern- ment in a minority of two, It is a question whether Hon, Geo. W, Ross, being in a minority has a right to ask for a dissolution. * x. 'The Japanese contin ne their assaults -upon Port Arthur, paying especial at- tention to 203 Meter Hill. It is estim- ated that 'ninety per cent. of the work of the complete occupation of Port .Arthur will he finished with this hill' in the possession of the. Japanese. No part of the harbor of Port Arthur will then be concealed from the Japanese. Russian reports from Mukden declare that there is no change in the situa- tion in the north. Small skirmishes .are reported, but there is no sign of a definite Japanese advance, * * The bogus ballot box investigation in Belleville is still proceeding. arrest of War- rants were issued for the Shibloy and Lott, two Liberal candi- dates in the late election. Sbibley skippedbefore the arrest could be ac- ,cempltshed. Lott was arrested, bail- ed on bond of $4000, and has since skipped. Reilly, a tool of the princi- pals, has been arrested and has con- fessed. A Watertown, N.Y., mechan- ic has confessed to have manufactured and shipped 20 boxes. Ed. Rotten testified that several were thrown into a lake, and nine bogus boxes have been fished out, A police magistrate and the Editor of the Bancroft Ban- ner are implicated in a grave and serious manner. Other arrests have been made and others are expected. The matter is being tbtbtroughly In, o itestigated and it is to be hoped the guilty parties will be punished to the pull extent of the latwr, ** "How would you account for the large number in attendance at the re- cent Liberal Convention in Massey Hall," was asked of some of those who were in Toronto duping the week. The answer comes thus: "It became evi- dent that the one thing which was likely to emharass the Ross Govern- ment was the matter of Temperance Legislation. It also became known that those favoring a prohibition mea- sure were arranging to attend in large numbers. .Consequently it became necessary for the Liberals, who knew that a prohibition resolution would en• danger the Ross Government's life, to be sufficiently numerous to defeat such a resolution. A large number went down for that purpose. Thns the Prohibitionists and the Antis, trying to outdo each other numerically, brought the number in attendance up to so high a figure." Incidentally it may be mentioned that the Antis out- numbered those favoring Prohibition, and a resolution favoring a radical change in the Liquor Law was de- feated. * Three clear cut cases of how far the idolizing of a party may carry it man stand out clearly as results of the re- cent Liberal Oonvention. Rev. J. A. Macdonald, editor of the Globe, made the announcement that he was "pre- pared to look the ugliest page of Lib- eral record in the face and to do all he could to return Mr. Ross with a larger majority than money could buy." Rev. F. Chisholm, of Leeds County, said: "No matter what conclusion is reach- ed here, I propose to stay in the Lib- eral party." Rev. G. B. Brown, of Blenheim, palled Off his coat and shout- ed that he was a Reformer because the Lord was a Reformer, while the devil was not, and that every man who trifled with the ballot box should be sent to the lowest hell. He would rather lose an arm than see Mr. Ross defeated. - Surely there is room in politics for a little more independent spirit than was manifested by those three minis- ters of the gospel, who, by the way, out -did the whole body of 4000 dele- gates in blind, political partizanship. ** The postoffice department has issued the following notice, which is of more than usual importance to the public: Persons who receive letters that have been missent or delayed are requested to preserve the envelopes, and send them immediately direct to the deputy postmaster -general, with any informa- tion in the case that may he of service to the department in making an in- vestigation. Letters which are not registered are carried through the mails and delivered to the persons to to whom they are addressed without any kind of record .being kept of their delivery. The department has, there- fore, no means of knowing '.how the postoffices are doing their work unless those whose correspondence is subject- ed to irregularities are brought to its notice. fn cases of irregularity .care should be taken to send the envelopes, as the post marks on the envelopes furnish evidence which enables the department to bring the circumstances nome to the offenders. Any informa- tion as to postal or delivery which may be in the possession of the person com- plaining is also desired, since, when one piece of evidence fails, another sometimes becomes effective. Seaforth Between midnight and daylight on Sunday morning over two feet of snow fell on the level in this district, . being the heaviest fall of snow ever known here in such a short. space 'of time. Very few were in attendance at. the churches, the streets in town and the country roads for both pedestrians and eonveyances being almost blocked. DEATH.—There passed away at his home in Seaforth, on Saturday, one of the pioneer residents of McKillop, in the person of Mr. William Alexan- der. Mr. Alexander bad been in poor health for abort a year, but •was not considered seriously ill until the day before his death, the trouble being a general breaking up of the entire sys- tem. He was 66 years and 8 months of age, and was born in Berwickshire, Scotland. When he was 18 years of age he came to this country, and set- tled on the .10th concession of McKil- lop, where he.enntinLied to reside un- til about a year and a half ago, when he moved into Sea forth. Besides his widow he leaves afemily of two sons and four daughters. `=and it's just good for p t11 0.

The flesh was torn open to the bone, and it required fourteen stitches to join the parts. The timber came within a fraction of dash- ing one of his eyes out.
